States and Territories, who each independently run their export awards
programs. The Awards operates as a two-tier process: exporters first
achieve state distinction through their local State and Territory export
award program. Local winners then progress as national finalists and are
benchmarked against their peers across the country, with winners
receiving national recognition for their international success.

Oniqua took first place in the Small to Medium Services category at the
